Chapter 154: Raiding the village and discovering the underground prison
Seeing the effect of this thing, Cao Xing’s eyes suddenly lit up.
“Good guy, so this is why I couldn’t detect the strength of that group of hunters!”
This is a good thing, and it’s not hierarchical.
So Cao Xing gave one to each of his men.
In an instant, Cao Xing felt that their auras had become more obscure and difficult to detect.
Especially Phantom Assassin Sarah, she is standing there now, and she also gives people an illusory feeling, which is easy to ignore.
Cao Xing nodded with satisfaction, “Yes, yes, with this cloak, other survivors will not be able to explore my strength casually.”
At the same time, Andrew and Assam also completed their transformation.
A powerful force rose from their bodies.
Cao Xing could even feel that the size of these two big men had increased by two or three centimeters again.
Two system prompts appear.
[Your territory member: Andrew has advanced successfully and has advanced to a third-level boss-level creature: basic attributes increased by 100%]
[Your territory member: Assam has advanced successfully and has been upgraded to a third-level boss-level creature, with basic attributes increased by 100%]
…
Cao Xing was overjoyed, “Okay, okay! I have two more third-level generals under my command!”
You know, a few days ago, Assam was only a level 10 first-level creature, and Andrew was only level 15.
It broke through to the third level so quickly.
The speed of his development is really terrifying.
The two of them also walked over with happy expressions on their faces.
Assam said respectfully: “Thank you Lord for the gift, Assam has become a third-level knight!”
Andrew also said piously: “You and the power of nature protect me at the same time.”
Cao Xing nodded and encouraged him as usual.
Then I took a look at their properties.
[Frostwolf Knight: Assam]
[Race: Human Race]
[Level: Level 20 0/100000 (third-level boss-level creature)]
[Detailed attributes: click to view]
…
[Druid of Icefield: Andrew]
[Race: Druid]
[Level: Level 20 0/100000 (third-level boss-level creature)]
[Detailed attributes: click to view]
…
Seeing their attributes, Cao Xing’s eyes showed strong joy.
So fierce! Their attack power all exceeded 1500!
The amount of blood is also more terrifying than the last.
Although, compared to Baymax at the same level as the third level, their attributes are a bit worse.
But as a mammoth, Dabai, a sacred creature, naturally has its advantages.
Cao Xing said with satisfaction: “Let’s go to the village.”
“As you command!”
Assam took the lead in pulling out his sword and walking towards the village.
Soon, they arrived inside the village.
Once inside, it was a messy scene.
Sarah’s battle with the safari in the village destroyed many houses.
Several safari bodies were left on the ground.
In addition to these signs of battle, there was dried blood on the walls of those houses.
At this time, Sarah appeared in Cao Xing’s ear and reported: “I have checked here before, and there is no villager left in this village.”
Cao Xing nodded, he had probably guessed it.
This can be seen from the fact that the hunters were secretive and did not let Cao Xing enter the village.
Sarah continued: “However, I found an underground passage gate in one of the houses, and that’s where I was discovered by the safari.”
“That place should be important to them.”
After hearing this, Cao Xing held his chin and thought for a moment.
Underground passage gate? It seems that under that gate, there should be a secret about the group of hunters in this village.
But he didn’t go there immediately, but looked at the surrounding residential houses.
Then, Cao Xing pushed open a house directly.
I saw some simple facilities inside.
A stove, a few tables, chairs and benches,
Beyond this, there is the kitchen area and bedrooms.
Cao Xing entered the kitchen area first.
Then I found a wooden cabinet hanging on the wall.
Opening the cabinet door, there were some bottles and jars inside, all of which were used seasonings.
“Oh? And pepper?”
These daily necessities are still relatively scarce in Cao Xing’s territory.
He collected them all.
[Obtain: coarse salt*1 bottle]
[Obtain: Leftover soy sauce*1]
[Obtain: inferior wine*2]
[Obtain: Pepper*1]
…
Then, Cao Xing came to the bedroom area again.
There was only one bed in the bedroom, and a black quilt.
Under the bed board, Cao Xing also found a hidden cabinet.
“Crunch!”
The cabinet opened and there were several sets of simple cotton clothes and a small bag of coins inside.
Cao Xing put it away directly.
[Obtain: Linen cotton clothing*3]
[Obtain: Coins*102]
[Obtain: Silver Ring*2]
…
“This is quite an unexpected gain.”
After all, these cotton clothes and coins are relatively important supplies.
Especially cotton clothes, when put on the trading market, are enough to cause looting by survivors.
Cao Xing continued to rummage in the bedroom with a look of joy on his face.
After finding nothing of value, he walked out of the house.
Cao Xing clapped his hands, then looked at his men and said, “Go and search the villagers’ houses… No, go search and see if there are any supplies that can be brought back to the territory.”
“This village has been taken over by safari hunters, and we cannot let these supplies fall into the hands of safari hunters.”
Cao Xing spoke righteously.
After hearing this, Assam and others immediately straightened up, and then began to take action.
Cao Xing himself also opened the doors of the villagers one by one and searched carefully.
First, he searched the living room, then went to the kitchen, and finally went to the bedroom, taking away all the useful supplies.
System prompts keep appearing.
[Obtain: dry cheese*2]
[Obtain: Poor quality wine*1]
[Get: Egg*12]
[Obtain: Chanterelle Mushroom*5]
[Obtain: Raw Buckwheat Honey*2]
[Obtain: Linen cotton clothing*3]
[Obtain: Gingerbread*1]
[Obtain: Coins*723]
【get……】
…
Although they were just materials of low value, Cao Xing enjoyed them.
How do you describe this feeling…
It’s as if the whole village belongs to you and everything in it is free to take.
Moreover, this village is quite large, with hundreds of houses of various sizes.
If we could collect all these supplies, it would be a big gain.
Of course, this will take a while.
However, Cao Xing has a lot of manpower, so it won’t take long.
After searching more than a dozen villagers’ houses.
Cao Xing came to a two-story building in the village.
That’s the village tavern.
As soon as he entered, a strong smell of blood came from inside.
It can be seen that there should have been a battle here.
But in order to disguise their identity, these safari men cleared away all signs of fighting.
The tables, chairs and benches in the tavern are neatly arranged together.
Cao Xing ignored it and went straight to the bar counter.
His eyes were fixed on the wine cabinet in the back.
Crunch!
The cabinet door opens.
Dozens of bottles of wine suddenly appeared inside.
“I’ll go…a lot of red wine and white wine, I’ll make a fortune this time!”
Cao Xing put them all away with an excited expression.
[Obtain: Crafted Rum*24]
[Obtain: Jixta Dry White Wine*6]
[Obtain: Local pepper vodka*8]
[Obtain: Vizima Champion Spirit*6]
[Obtain: Cordwin Dark Beer*7]
…
“Haha, this wave is so cool!”
“The tavern in my territory can get a new batch of wine!”
Then, he opened the bar again, and a large pile of coins suddenly appeared inside.
Little stars almost appeared in Cao Xing’s eyes!
“Take it away, take it all away!”
【Get coins*4724】
After searching the bar, Cao Xing went to the second floor of the tavern.
There are several small houses inside.
Pushing open the door of one of the rooms, there was a naked female corpse lying inside, her skin turned white from the cold.
In these small houses, Cao Xing did not find anything valuable.
Shaked his head.
He walked down from the second floor again, and then continued to search inside the tavern.
“It’s strange, why can’t you find the wine cellar of the tavern?”
“Could their wine be shipped from somewhere else?”
You know, even Cao Xing built a basement under the tavern in his territory to store drinks and other things.
He didn’t give up and searched again.
At this time, Cao Xing came to the bottom of the stairs and found a loose wooden door.
Looking closely, the message of the wooden door appeared in front of me.
[Tavern underground wine cellar door]
[Armor: 10]
[Durability: 200]
…
“Haha, found it!”
Cao Xing looked happy, then raised his staff and hit it with an ice ball.
Bang! The cellar door was smashed open, revealing a spacious basement.
There is a strong aroma of wine inside!
Cao Xing jumped directly.
In the basement, Cao Xing saw a dozen round wooden wine barrels!
I glanced at it and saw the system prompt.
【Rum*100 liters】
【Wine*100 liters】
【Tequila*100L】
……
“This is all filled with wine. One barrel is one hundred liters. There are thirteen barrels here, which is a full 1,300 liters!”
“Now I’m rich!”
Cao Xing was overjoyed and collected all the rum directly.
[Obtain: Rum*300 liters]
[Obtain: rose wine*200 liters]
[Obtain: Tequila*500 liters]
[Obtain: wine*200 liters]
[Obtain: Redania beer*100 liters]
…
Thirteen wine barrels took up two spaces in his backpack.
Cao Xing was satisfied.
And when he put away all the wine barrels, he also saw a storage box in the corner.
After getting closer, a system message appeared.
[I found the storage box (blue) in Drake’s Tavern. Do you want to open it? 】
“Turn on.”
[Open successfully]
[Obtain: Intermediate basement construction drawings]
[Obtain: Crafted Rum Recipe*1]
[Obtain: Coins*27133]
[Obtained: Vicki/Anita/Bellu/Ulrika’s Prosecution Contract*4]
[Obtain: Drake Tavern’s ledger*1]
…
“Craft rum recipe? And intermediate basement drawings?”
Cao Xing looked at the attributes.
[Intermediate basement construction drawings: Expand the primary basement into a basement of 8 meters long * 8 meters wide * 5 meters high, which can be used to store supplies or serve as a temporary shelter. 】
[Armor: 100]
[Durability value: 4500/4500]
[Space: 320 cubic meters]
[Materials required for construction: primary basement, wood*500, stone*300, iron*100, primary element crystal*5]
[Building time: 12:54]
(A higher-level basement not only has a larger space, but also has good defense capabilities.)…
[Craft rum recipe]
[Materials required for brewing: primary brewing workshop, rum, sap, honey. 】
(Note: The taste is more mellow than ordinary rum, and it is deeply loved by those soldiers.)…
Cao Xing said thoughtfully: “Do I need a brewing workshop to start brewing? It seems that I have to recruit someone, no, I need to find a brewing talent to join my territory.”
Put everything away.
At this point, the basement has been ransacked by Cao Xing.
He walked up with satisfaction.
At the same time, Assam and others had almost finished searching the village.
They collectively handed over various materials to Cao Xing.
Get rid of the clutter.
Cao Xing has gained a lot.
【Coin*26310】
[Line cotton clothing*273 sets]
[Coarse salt*154 bottles]
【Soy sauce*164 bottles】
【Black pepper powder*72 bottles】
【Honey*6 bottles】
【Dry cheese*324】
【Brown bread*5324】
【White bread*253】
…
“Not bad, not bad.” Cao Xing praised.
This wave of looting directly enriched the basic supplies in his territory.
At this time, Cao Xing looked at the phantom assassin next to him, and then said: “Sarah, take me to the basement you mentioned.”
Sarah nodded lightly.
Then, under her leadership, everyone came to an inconspicuous small room.
However, as a second-level frost mage, Cao Xing could also feel that something was wrong here.
There seemed to be some magical fluctuations in the room.
Not only that.
Outside the room, some explosion traps, rope traps, spike traps, etc. are also arranged.
This shows that the group of hunters valued this room.
Fortunately, these traps have been dismantled by Sarah.
After opening the door, the facilities inside are also very ordinary.
Sarah, on the other hand, went straight to the corner of the room, pointed to a wooden board and said, “This is it.”
Cao Xing looked over.
[The wooden door of the underground passage with explosive runes applied to it]
[Armor: 50 points]
[Durability value: 1000 points]
[With special effects: self-destruction (if the door is forcibly opened, it will cause the flame runes to self-destruct, causing 500 points of self-destruction damage to nearby creatures)]
…
Cao Xing thought for a moment.
Self-destruction can only cause 500 points of damage, which is no problem for them.
So, he said directly: “Sarah, open it.”
After hearing Cao Xing’s order, Sarah slashed at him with a single sword.
Bang! The durability value of this wooden door is cleared.
Then, a scorching flame rose up.
Boom!
After the explosion, everyone was unscathed.
But it only blew up one layer of their holy shield.
at the same time.
The door to the underground passage opened, revealing a deep staircase.
Assam directly pulled out his sword and said, “Lord, let me open the way in front.”
Cao Xing nodded, “Go, Assam Knight.”
Then, everyone followed Assam and walked down.
The steps are deep and long.
Tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap tap
All the way deeper, only the sound of people’s footsteps echoed.
After almost advancing for more than a hundred meters.
At this time, Cao Xing discovered that they came to a wide space.
[You have discovered the hidden area: the underground prison of Amu Darya Village]
“Oh? This is an underground prison?”
Cao Xing had a puzzled look in his eyes.
Then he took out the magic torch.
As the blue light of the torch lit up, the scene in the prison was revealed to everyone.
Ahead, there is also a passage, with small rooms sealed with iron bars on both sides.
Cao Xing walked to the door of one of the rooms and illuminated it with a magic torch.
He saw a human being who ran out of the village with the same naked clothes and his body covered with various wounds.
However, the other party didn’t seem to be dead, and was still breathing a little.
The other party’s attributes appeared in front of him.
【Kingdom Soldier: Guillermo】
[Affiliated force: Ice Crystal Kingdom]
[Level: Level 24 (Level 3 ordinary creature)]
[HP: 1194/11250]
[Attack power: none]
[Skills: Intermediate swordsmanship proficiency, three-stage slash, jump chop]
[Status: Seriously injured, hungry, internal injuries, cold, frostbite…]
…
“Why are the soldiers of the Ice Crystal Kingdom here?”
Cao Xing had a puzzled look in his eyes.
He wanted to ask for some information, but the naked man was in a confused state.
No matter what Cao Xing said, he stayed in the corner motionless.
It was obvious that he had been tortured to the point of unconsciousness by the group of safari.
It can be seen from his many negative states.
Even if he had a third-level physique, he had been tortured by the hunters for a long time, coupled with the low temperature of more than 40 degrees below zero in the underground prison, even an iron man could not bear it.
The soldier was able to survive until now, probably because the group of hunters deliberately saved his last breath.
“Let’s go.”
Cao Xing shook his head and led the people to continue moving deeper into the underground prison.
We progressed along this passage for almost five hundred meters.
In total, more than thirty rooms were discovered.
Part of the room was empty, and in another part of the room, there was a kingdom soldier who was tortured to the point of dying.
Their condition was the same as that of the first soldier, confused and confused.
Cao Xing walked all the way to the innermost part of the prison.
A room closed with a thick iron door appeared here.
The person imprisoned inside seemed to be some important person.
He raised his torch and shined a light inside.
A disheveled man with no clothes on his body was huddled in the corner.
Cao Xing also glanced at his attributes.
[Lieutenant: Declan Noble]
[Affiliated force: Ice Crystal Kingdom]
[Level: Level 28 (third-level boss-level creature)]
[HP: 1713/25300]
[Attack power: none]
[Skills: Intermediate Imperial Swordsmanship, Five Stage Slash, Sword Qi Burst, Flurry]
[Talent: None]
[Status: Seriously injured, internal injuries, hungry, cold, frostbite…]
…
“Good guy, is he still a boss-level lieutenant?”
Cao Xing had a look of surprise in his eyes.
Moreover, he also discovered that the lieutenant in front of him was different from other prisoners in that he still retained the last trace of his sanity.
Cao Xing asked directly: “Are you the lieutenant of the Ice Crystal Kingdom? How did you get here?”
The lieutenant looked at Cao Xing, and a terrifying smile gradually appeared at the corner of his dry mouth!
